Chopping wood?
:48:19
We burn wood every winter, Purdy.
:48:22
Pretty soon thee'll have no house
to burn wood in.

:48:24
Some of Morgan's thieving men
burnt my barn...

:48:27
...stole my horses
and cleaned out my smokehouse.

:48:30
I'm sorry to hear that.
:48:33
Thee is welcome to anything I've got.
:48:35
No, thanks. If thee wants to help...
:48:38
...pick up a gun and fight...
:48:40
...the same as I'm doing.
:48:44
I'm not ready to do that.
:48:47
What does thee aim to do?
Sit here and turn the other cheek?

:48:50
That's what I aim to do...
:48:53
...if I can.
:48:55
Thee's got to face the fact that wartime
calls for another kind of thinking.

:48:59
Your thinking may have changed,
but you haven't.

:49:02
Last week, you told my son
he'd go to hell for fighting.

:49:05
This week you tell Jess to fight.
:49:07
Whatever's right for Purdy's got
to be right for everybody else?

:49:10
If you're so hell-bent to fight,
get going!

:49:16
If it's peace thee wants, Jess Birdwell,
thee won't get it chopping wood.

:49:32
Did they hurt thy place?
:49:33
No, Jess.
:49:35
Just thought I'd ride toward the river,
see how the boys are getting on.

:49:40
One more man at the fort
won't make a hoot of difference.

:49:43
If there's any fighting to be done,
I'll do it for both of us.

:49:49
I'd like to see someone hold out
for a better way of settling things.
